Party Quirks (game started).

I figured it out. With the “more to it” comment, the only thing I could think of is that it would be some particular fashion commentary, which is a bit out of my league, since there’s really only one I know of, and I she’s a bit before my time anyway (not to mention what little I do know of her I find her annyoing). But the “we need to talk” comment in the second post leads me to believe that we somehow have invited Joan Rivers to our party.

[out of character]
Whew, I was running out of Joan Rivers references. I went Poka Playa (what she called Annie Duke on the Apprentice), Donald Trump, Oscars, Tonight Show Guest Host, Red carpet. I even “clapped like a seal”, which was her trademark in her stand up.

I figured it out pretty early on, and I’m no genius – something I’m very open about.

[HardlySanguine]

I feel like our hosts should be providing more entertainment. It’s not that I’m bored or anything, but there’s only so many hours I can stare at this painting of decapitated centaur before I really want to know what’s behind the painting. And taking it down would be rude, right?

So yeah. Strip poker, choie? Or am I still über creepy? I can take off my socks before we start if that’d help…

And Hoopy, I guess I understand the exclamation mark thing. But you should use quotes next time!

[Chronos]

I don’t know what kind of sicko would put guacamole on Italian lasagna, but I have a recipe for Mexican lasagna that rather benefits from it.

[Enderw24]

Ew. Italian lasagna, maybe. Mexican? No way.

Hmm. Perhaps I should’ve clarified that I was willing to try any kind of poker but strip. I didn’t count on that one.

Actually for some reason now I’m less interested in poker and more in a different type of card game… preferably one less likely to end with anyone’s goodies hanging out there. Anyone for Magic: The Gathering?

What would it take to get you to play strip poker?

I… am not entirely certain. Maybe if we could come up with a strip version of Mafia I’d feel more comfortable. At least then I’d be pretty assured of keeping most of my clothing intact, having as much experience as I do.

Whatever. It doesn’t matter much, anyway. God, I’d rather be anywhere but here at this point. This thing sucks and so do all of you.

[HardlySanguine]

Yeah, but what if one of the scum’s superpowers was the ability to strip unsuspecting townspeople in the middle night? Or if you had to take off an article of clothing to accuse someone? Or if each night you survived you had to take something off - would you purposefully lose?

[Malacandra]

@Crowbar_of_Irony_3

Oops, I got to admit something. I thought the one of the hosts were Mahaloth. Turns out it’s Malacandra. I’ve gotten confused with the names. No wonder the strange looks.

look around for the hosts sheepishly Guess I owe Malcandra an apology but she probably knew about it and laughing inside.

Reaaaaly sorry.

(I’m a he.)

What makes you so sure I’d be town? I’d rather play a brutal killer, a real mercenary type.

Anybody considering? Everyone good if I just play sometime soon then?

[HardlySanguine]

You’re going to play by yourself? . . . Just do it on that small stage over there, I guess. I’ll turn on some music.

Bolding mine. I’m really glad I read this sentence twice, as using a different conjunction gave this post a whole new level of ick.

Either way, I’m barely optimistic that such a display will be enjoyable to watch. So Hoopy Frood and Malacandra, if you don’t mind, I’ll lurk in your backyard for a bit.

[Idle_Thoughts]

@Malacandra

Everything Idle Thoughts posts is a direct quote - of a song lyric, a line in a movie, an advertising slogan, or something another poster has said.

(Yep, that was just coincidence with Crowbar - he got less sloppy after I’d guessed. Hoopy will have to catch that one.)

You may be right…I may be crazy.

[Hoopy_Frood]

The thing about Idle, however Malacandra, is that “You lie” is a reference to Senator Joe Wilson’s outburst during a speech by Obama.

Which is why it’s not as simple as you think. Billy Joel, The Blues Brothers, Wayne’s World, M&M’s, Joe Wilson, The Princess Bride, Taxi Driver, The Graduate, Ricola, etc.

Is there a common theme among them that you see?

[choie]

I could’ve sworn he quoted Douglas Adams at one point. But maybe I’m a bit impartial on that score.

[etv78]

Why all the caffeine free soda?Decaf coffee? SERIOUSLY!

No, but he’s twice (IIRC) posted an exact copy of something another poster said, in addition to the above.
